PCOS

I've spoken about the fact that I suffer from polycystic ovaries syndrome before but I don't think I've ever dedicated a full post to it. Just in case anyone hasn't read those posts before, I'll give you a wee bit of background.

It affects fertility in women and the important thing about it is gettig on top of your symptoms.

So tomorrow I'm going to have to call them again and tell them that I'm about to be referred to the wrong place.  With my doctors, I feel like its a total lack of knowledge. And they don't seem to want to expand it. We're taught in uni about knowing about the 'expert patient' ie patient's who know their con...
